My shining star

Good Morning! Well its the start of another week and I'm hoping you've all had a good weekend - despite the awful weather that many have experienced! We had fun - the Christmas fair at school managed to raise a total of £538 for PTA funds so that's just fabulous! Only one more event to go now before Christmas - and that's a Christmas Craft evening - looking forward to that but still have to sort things out for it!!!!

Onto today - I've got that rare occasion when I should be doing two separate posts - but I thought I would combine them into one - I hope that's okay!

My first card is a DT card for the new challenge starting over at seemsalittlesketchy today - here's the sketch:

We're sponsored by My mygrafico and were supplied with an assortment of images relating to Christmas.

This is what I did:

Its very much a kiddies card - but I think the images are pretty cute don't you? I coloured them with promarkers in good old traditional colours and used old papers from my stash and some red and green embellishmments also from my stash.

oh that old chestnut - theres no joke like an old joke - but it still made me laugh! love your cute card - perfect for our birthday challenge at fab'n'nfunky - thank you for playing along this week - hope we see you again next week - we have an absolutely fabulous prize for next weeks chalenge so be sure to come back hugs Judith x

Two fab cards Rachel, I love the sketch you've used for the first one - I might have to have a go at that one and I love the second one, those Bugaboo images are so funny.Don't worry about the award - there's no rush.Paulinex

Hi Rachel, brilliant news that you raised so much more than you originally thought! Love both cards, the images are sweet on the first one but the second one is hilarious, I do hope his wife has a good sense of humour...... love it! Hugs, Anne x

Wow congratulations, Rachel! That is an awesome amount. I think they will want you to head up the PTA permanently. Both your cards are brilliant; the first one has such sweet images and the second one gave me a laugh. Vee xx
